This week it’s three final new gadgets from Pepcom’s Holiday Spectacular.
Meet The Really Different Neakasa Magic 1 Vacuum Steamer
With Neakasa’s AirIron Technology, powered by 2300Pa suction, this steam can deeply penetrates fabrics and drawn back instantly. It delivers maximum steam efficiency, at the same time, cool air flows in to rapidly cool and shape the fabric, triple the performance of traditional steamers. The auto-grip fabric feature allows one-handed operation with no burn risk. Chad was totally impressed with this totally new way to steam out wrinkles. It won’t be able till CES 2025.

TCL Increases It’s New Line of Innovative Products.
The TCL brand is now said to be the 2nd largest TV retailer in the US. A look at their TV’s and their affordable prices will help show you why. On the Giz Wiz Show, I’m seen on a great TLC 50” HDTV that Chad found on sale for under $300. Of course, they have incredibly large TV’s that range into the high price market too. They have the World’s Largest 115” TCL Q Class 4K UHD HDR QD Smart TV with Google TV. It just under $20,000, but drop down to their 75” QD Mini TV and it’s only about $2,000. On this week’s show you’ll also learn about their clever new NxtFrame TV’s and up-coming TCL Portable Projector with Google TV built-in. Project up to 120” in screen size with 1080P Resolution. It features auto focus and has a built in amp & speaker. Price and release date to be announced before the holidays.

New High Tech From OWC!
OWC, a.k.a. Other World Computing, is known for their high-end, tech savvy gadgets. I don’t own any Mac devices, but Chad was totally impressed with the Thunderbolt 5 announcements they made at Pepcom. You’ll see and hear about those new OWC products in video we shot at the Holiday Spectacular on this week’s show.

Chad’s Crappy Corner
It’s November and Chad’s Cheap Gadget Theme, as voted on by our loyal Patreons, is Cheap What The Heck Is It? Gadgets.
Chad’s 2nd WTHII gadget was very hard to guess. It turned to be a Travel Lint Remover!
As you’ll see, it is a travel friendly gadget, that almost looks like a slightly large pool ball. Chad agreed it’s great for travel, because it so easy to pack. It’s also lightweight at 3.46 ounces and has a diameter of 2.68 inches. When you see this week’s show, I think you’ll agree it works really well on the pet hair covered shirts Chad tried it on. Chad liked this a lot. He paid $6.88 at Walmart. It’s available on Amazon too, with two of them for about the same price Chad paid for one.

Dick’s Gadget Warehouse
Our video this week is from Michael Prine who emails us:
Well, I had been looking at this for a while and decided to see what kind of deal I could get on prime day. It had been running at $40 but it was $2 off then when I went to check out, I discovered that they had applied a gift card to my purchase so I got it for free. Granted it is only 150 watts so you can’t run the refrigerator or the microwave but it will work for a fan or some lights so still worth having.
Hope you enjoy the video: https://youtu.be/TEsFxxNPits
The one from HomeDepot is a little more expensive at $49 so I decided the price difference was not worth it so I went with the amazon one.

Email of the week is from Raymond Wick who writes: Foldimate Exists!
Thought you and Chad would get a kick out of this.
From The Giz Wiz: Foldimate was/is a device to automatically fold your freshly laundered clothes. It was promised to be available for years, but never did come out. So it’s amazing to get this email with a video link. Beware, it seems it could be a scam, so be careful.
